Redemption
As his phone began to ring, he was surprised it was from Shiki, it had been few weeks since the incident passed, so Neku was sort of calmed down, he's actually feeling a bit guilty with leaving her but he doesn't have much of a choice.
"Hello?" Neku answered unsure of what to expect. All he could hear was Shiki's breathing and quiet sobbing which somewhat alarmed Neku a bit. So he called again, "Shiki???"
"…… Neku……." Now the sobbing was more obvious, she sounded terrible.
"Shiki…. Hey, what happened?" even though they were over, he couldn't help but feel a bit guilty with what he's done, and besides, he really is concerned.
"Can I… speak to you…in person?" Shiki had a hard time speaking due to the… recent events in the park. She still had a hard time going out, traumatized.
"Of course Shiki, I'll come over now." Neku felt like now was a time when she needed him so he gave in the her request, he just has to make sure that she was fine.
With that said, he heard her end the call. So he starts getting ready unsure of what to expect in their oncoming meeting.
He knocks softly on the door, making sure not to startle her or to catch her at a bad time. When the door was opened, Shiki seemed to be disturbed completely, and afraid to see if it was Neku or some other people that she had not been expecting.
She carefully lets him in, sits him down on her sofa, and she tells him about what happened in the park.
Sooo basically, he tried to force himself on her, she was able to get away from him, barely VERY barely, after that event, he hasn't contacted her, and she hasn't gone out or contacted anyone.
After telling him all this, they had a few minutes of silence since Neku was obviously dumbfounded at the disturbing story. He moved his lips but nothing came out. Few more minutes.. He stared at her, she back. He hugged her suddenly, since words couldn't come out right now. It wasn't a malicious hug; it was a hug to comfort a friend.
Shiki started to cry, she couldn't keep it in anymore. He did all he could to comfort his once dearest friend. She asked him then if he could sleep at her place for a while. He was hesitant, but she told him it would help so much, he couldn't say no.
He left her for a while to get his stuff from his place. When he came back to his place, he actually forgot that he gave Yuna a key to his place, so she kinda went to his place to wait for him, so to his surprise, she was there waiting for him.
"Yuna?! Why are you here?" She could see Neku's shock, and thought it was kinda offensive.
"You don't want me here?" she said jokingly, "Anyways, I wanted to ask you if you wanted to go out today... well?"
"Oh… ooooooh" finally getting it, now he was unsure of what to do.
"Uhm… Yuna?" pausing to make sure she was listening, "Uhm Shiki kinda asked me to spend some times with her, is it ok?" He was actually scared of what her reaction would be.
"… oh… uhm ok…" She slowly said, hoping that he would take it back… guess not.
She quickly utters an apology then walks past Neku to the door. Neku tries to call to her, but she was too busy crying.
'What the hell? Why does these things only happen to me?' Thinking to himself.
So, he quietly packs his stuff for the next week or so, still thinking if he did the right thing.
So now he makes his way back to Shiki's place, calling out to her " Shiki? You there?" Checking where he left her, she wasn't there. He searched the house but didn't find her, 'How odd, maybe she went somewhere for a while' Neku thought to himself as he begins to put his stuff down. So now he has nothing to do, might as well take a nap. Sitting down on the sofa, he falls asleep sooner or later with his mp3 player continuing to play in his ears
----------
Shiki was waiting for Neku at her place, when Yuna decided to come over to Shiki's place, as a friend of course. So they talked for a while, and she decided to drag Shiki out to go and shop a while and have some bonding time.
They go around the vicinity actually, going from shop to shop, with increasing number of shopping bags. When they were done, Yuna brought her to a place to eat for a while.
But after a while Yuna had to go somewhere else, so Shiki decided to go home already.
----------
Neku was woken up by someone, he was expecting to see Shiki when he woke up, but he saw a guy. An ugly guy to be exact… ok not THAT ugly but Neku was better. Anyways, he woke Neku up in a rather annoying way, he kicked him. He better be happy that Neku's not that weird emo kid like he was before.
"Hey! You know where Shiki is?" the (ugly) guy asked Neku.
'What the hell do you want to do with her?' "Oh uh no, why? Who are you?" Neku asked with his usual indifferent face that pissed the guy off.
"I'm her friend, Daime." The punk said with a bit of confidence showing.
'Daime? Daime… OH! That PUNK!' Neku finally remembered.
It was a sudden motion, but the next thing Daime knew was that he was on the floor with his jaw hurting, this "kid" just punched him!
So in short, he stood up, they traded blows, Neku was getting the upper hand, and Shiki came! YAY!
"I'm back, sorry I was gone Ne-" awkward silence for a long time.
Each was looking at each other with a blank expression.
Daime broke the silence, "Shiki hey I-" his wasn't able to finish since Neku finally knocked him out.
Shiki didn't know what to feel. She was actually about to scream when she saw him, but … Neku punched him.
"Neku! What happened?!" Shiki screamed, running towards Neku because he was bleeding temporarily ignoring the unconscious body on the floor.
"Shiki… I…" Still shocked by his victory, but he was actually cut off when Shiki gave him a kiss.
The End
I'm sosososososososo sorry this took soooooo long guys, it was a mixture of laziness, writer's block, and plain business. SORRY.
How Yuna got to Shiki that fast after talking to Neku I do not know.
Don't hate me _ please R&R either way. Please _
